A member asked:
Is emergency iud technically an abortive ? and dose it stops a fertilized egg from implanting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Emergency BC: A copper iud can be placed up to 5-7 days after intercourse to prevent pregnancy. If you have not ovulated it prevents fertilization as the copper acts as a spermicide. If you have ovulated it prevents implantation by disturbing the uterine lining.
